iCOST PRO

What iCOST PRO is

iCOST PRO is web software for calculating recipe and beverage costs and tracking how supplier price changes affect restaurant, bar, and hotel margins. It uses ingredients, yields, and entered supplier prices to calculate food cost per portion. When a supplier price changes, the product can recalculate portion cost, selling price, and profit margin, with alerts for price spikes and minimum gross-profit guardrails. Operators can review supplier price histories, compare suppliers, and receive alerts about margin impact. Ingredient records can include cost, nutrition, allergens, supplier details, and discounts. The software also provides management reports, accounting exports, and scheduled summaries, and supports yield and portion scaling and menu profitability. iCOST PRO has a 30-day full-access trial at no cost (30 days · Full access, same as PRO Individual · No credit card required). PRO Individual costs €17 a month or €199 a year; PRO Business for multi-unit operations is marked coming soon, with no price listed. It is available on the web and does not include inventory tracking.
